Hi, I'm new here but i wanted to take the opportunity to post a pic of my Manomano here. Actually I wasn't really into retrobikes but this one just grew retro while I was riding it (or rather not riding it for the past few years).

However, since i took this pic at Lake Garda back in 2005 I have changed fork and and rear shock (RS Dart and Deluxe) as well as stem, bar and seatpost (Roox) and also the tires (Conti Race King 2.2). Furthermore I'm about to change brakes back to Avid Vs. When I find the time to do so, I might open a thread of its own.

Absolutely love it! Has had a hard life, was battered, missing lots, and bent as its a suspected roadkill victim.... left abandoned at the roadside (bike, not rider, obviously)

Always wanted to experiment with a classic single speed, so this with a bent mech hanger seemed ideal

I found a lava dome frame and P2s 97 very battered lots of dings and bent carrier the same bunged it in my garage and 10 yrs later just dug it out straightened it and turned it into a single speeder, absolutely love it just waiting fora new saddle then I'll post some pics.

Bought them many years ago... Shimano MT60 Deore...Painted them matte black for the build

thought so I've got a silver one in the Garage somewhere! what ring you running? I've not counted mine yet but when it was on my cinder cone I could get up most the hills to and from work so have bunged that on my new build.......
